“Campus location but no food or bar”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 4, 2012

There is a nice cold breakfast but that is all the food here. Bring your own teabags because there are only flavored teas at breakfast. You are not near any restaurants although Westwood restaurants will deliver to the hotel. One vending machine has cookies & chips. The soda machine was broken. The free campus shuttle stops here but does not run on weekends. The beds are comfortable and the decorations were nice.

Room Tip: Rooms facing Charles E Young Dr are quieter. Hilgard Ave has a lot of traffic & rumble strips.

“The Best if your aim is to be in UCLA”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 28, 2012 via mobile

We stayed here for 4 nights for student and family orientation. Our experience was a very good one. We travelled with 2 little kids and a 18 year old. We were given inter connecting rooms. The beds and pillows were soft and lovely. The iPhone dock with charger was another bonus. Breakfast of a selection of pastries/ cold meat/ cereal and everything else was perfect. I would recommend anyone to stay here . The staff are friendly and very helpful.

“Excellent Location for visiting UCLA but too expensive for what you get”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed May 27, 2012

Very clean rooms decorated with antique furniture (in the positive sense); our beds were superb and soft - no plywood as mentioned before. Strange how different experiences can be. The brekafast was very good but somehow odd because there are no proper tables to eat - either you sit on a sofa with your plate on the knees or you take the food to your room. Staff at the reception were not especially friendly. Actually the cleaning staff were more friendly and cheerful. Big plus point is the parking garage with direct elevator access to the room floors. Neverthelles, the place is too expensive for what you get - at the end it is a guesthouse and not a 4 star hotel.We will go somewhere else next time. The best of the hotel are the pictures hanging at the walls showing old scenes from Westwood and UCLA.

“Best hotel for a UCLA visit!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed April 5, 2012

Don't let the "guesthouse" fool you - this is a proper hotel with wonderful staff, clean rooms, great windows and accents, and a lovely lobby and seating area with couches and a fireplace! I spent a few nights lounging near the fire, reading a book. This area also doubles as the breakfast serving area during the mornings - they have a great spread with cheeses, cereals, fruit, bagels, pastries, coffee, juices and teas. The coffee/tea area is self-serve and stocked all day and night, so you can grab an herbal tea with hot water at bedtime! The office boasts a work table, and a few public computers with printing capabilities. From what I heard through my other colleagues, mine was the best hotel in the UCLA vicinity. The location on campus makes access so easy, and the spot is right near the statue garden, a peaceful outdoor space to relax. I stayed in a regular room, without the kitchenette space, so can't comment on those amenities, but that sounds very attractive for a longer stay. Highly recommended!

“Exactly what I needed!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed April 4, 2012

I stayed here for a week in april for business on campus. I was VERY pleasantly surprised! I had prettylow expectations, and was a little worried upon arrival to the slightly tired and worn lobby and hallways. But the rooms are more modern than the outside, don't be scared off by the outside!
The bed is surprisingly really comfy and the room was very dark and relatively quiet at night so slept very well. All the good channels on the tv. Bathroom has aged but all very clean, decent towels which are replaced daily if you'd like.
Perfect location, right near bus terminal to downtown/ hollywood, (both met buses), and Santa Monica (big blue buses). Also the UCLA campus bus stops right outside. Staff at reception 24 hours and were always happy to answer questions, even show me the vending machine upstairs which i couldn't find upstairs on my own! They even gave me a list of nearby restaurants which deliver to the hotel which was great when arriving back at the hotel after a long day and wanting to order a pizza.
Breakfast was simple but again, much better thani expected. Bagels, toast, meats, cheeses, muffins & pastires + coffee/tea/juice. WIFI is also unbeatable, no password required - works well on phone and lap top (including skype video streaming).
DEFINITELY recommend it if you need to visit campus to visit children/look at the college/for business!
Much better than I ever imagined!

Room Tip: Was a little put off by being on the ground floor initially, but felt very safe with up to two staff...
